"Then again, having twelve Representatives is a myth. One can only have two or three at most. Only the Chosen One can have twelve Representatives." Yun Zhe brushed off the topic as soon as he got interested in it.

Just then, a flash of light erupted on the television screen, which was broadcasting the Official Beast Tournament live. Satoshi and everyone else in the room flinched as the room was bathed in light. If it was that bright through television, one could only wonder how bright it was on the Grand Stage.

.....

At that moment, Jana expended all her energy and reverted back to her usual self. Link pressed the dagger on Jana\'s neck. "You lost. Surrender now before things get ugly."

"Jokes on you," Jana whispered as she was enveloped with a blinding light.

The light flashed in an instant, and then it disappeared. Jana, who swore not to use her Representative on the first round of the fight, decided to use it. However, upon witnessing the true prowess of Link and his Representative, the Crimson Dagger, firsthand, Jana was backed into a corner. If she didn\'t use her Representative right then and there, she\'d lose.

When the light dissipated, Jana reappeared, wearing a white trenchcoat and a cap that hid half of her face as she tilted down. Her striking scarlet-colored lips and bright red hair were the first details that Link noticed.

FLAP!

Link\'s gut instincts told him to back away, and back away he did. The moment he reached the far opposite end of the Grand Stage, a resounding flap could be heard from Jana. Red wings grew on her back, and she carried what seemed like two scythes in her hand. The scythes emanated red smoke, and its energy was immeasurable. Despite their sheer size, almost as tall as Jana herself, Jana swung them menacingly, sparing little to no effort.

"The Scarlet Scythe.... impossible..." Link muttered to himself.

Not only was the Scarlet Scythe a Weapons-Type Representative, it was also far superior to the Crimson Dagger. Throughout the past, there were instances when the Scarlet Scythe showed up, and Link had been monitoring it along with other known representatives. Still, it greatly surprised him that Jana managed to tame such a powerful Representative... or maybe she was chosen by it. Link could only wonder.

"Crimson Dagger, Stretch!" Link felt a nagging feeling in his stomach, and he figured an imminent danger was about to happen. Because of that, Link decided to use his Crimson Dagger. Whatever it was that he felt in his gut instincts, he acted upon it by putting his feet on the handle of the Crimson Dagger and instructing it to stretch.

Clang!

There was no way Link could\'ve seen the attack. In an instant, Jana threw one of her scythes toward Link. The action was faster than sight, and the color of the Scarlet Scythe really blended well in the surroundings that Link didn\'t even see it cutting through the air. By the time the Crimson Dagger stretched and Link was standing above it, a resounding \'clang\' was heard as the scythe hit the Crimson Dagger\'s blade. Link felt the Crimson Dagger shaking, and he almost fell from where he stood. Fortunately, the Crimson Dagger was hooked on the ground, and it didn\'t tilt nor lose its balance.

"That was a good reaction. However, it\'s not enough to match me and my Scarlet Scythe. You\'re WAY TOO SLOW!"

Upon saying that, Jana disappeared mid-air, causing Link to panic a little. Relying solely on his instincts, Link pulled the Crimson Dagger from the ground and swung it sideways. He figured that Jana would attack him frontwards, so he expected to hit one or both her scythes as he swung his Crimson Dagger blindly.

To Link\'s surprise, he only hit empty air the moment he swung his Crimson Dagger. He felt the urge to swivel his head, but he knew that doing so would just distract him. Instead, he turned his gaze here and there, darting his eyes in every direction in hopes that he\'d catch even the minuscule movements in the air.

His actions bore fruit, much to his relief. From his peripheral vision, he noticed a shade of red coming at him at insane speeds. Without further ado, Link commanded his Crimson Dagger to retract, and he blocked the oncoming shade of red with it. He was thrown in mid-air, but he wasn\'t hit by the attack.

"You\'re pretty good," Jana muttered as a chuckle escaped her lips. She disappeared for the second time, and Link was left on the defensive again.

Despite his seemingly disadvantageous position, Link didn\'t panic at all. He could tell that he still had the chance at winning. The longer Jana stalled for time, the more he\'d get used to her speeds. The only thing that LInk was confident it was his speed and agility. There was no way Jana, or anyone else, could match him once he got used to it.

"You\'re pretty good as well. But you made the wrong choice, running around like that." Link said to himself.

His desperation drove him even more to a corner. In his last attempt to counter Jana and her Scarlet Scythe Representative, Link decided to integrate with another tamed beast of his. "Don\'t let me down, all right?" Link muttered.
